Earth Day & Bumble Bee Buttons

Today is Earth Day so it felt appropriate to post up buttons that calls attention to the greater good of the environment.

The Pollinator Project is a honey bee education program that is intended to create a strategy to make Vancouver friendlier to bumblebees, honeybees, butterflies and other pollinators. The project also aims to bring together different pollinator organizations, such as Hives for Humanity, to create a hive mentality to help the bees instead of working in silos on community projects.

Residents will be encouraged to think about the bees when planting their gardens. Vancouverites who live in single-family or two-family home are encouraged to keep bees in their backyards.

This is just one of  many initiatives of Vancouver’s “Greenest City Action Plan“.
